Black people's collective trauma is not up for debate. Not now. Not ever. #GeorgeFloyd

Being maligned, sidelined, micro-aggressed and subjected to racism daily eats away at your humanity.

Walking around with the knowledge that #existingwhileblack can get you jailed, shot, smothered, and/or even killed is too much to bear.

Our spirits are heavy. #GeorgeFloyd

So now is not the time to tone police our pain.

Now is not the time to ask what happened "before the video recording started".

Now is NOT THE TIME to derail the conversation by centering white feelings or crying white tears (which is PEAK white privilege). #GeorgeFloyd

Not sure what to say? Then SHARE: statuses, articles decrying police brutality against black bodies, memes about ppl like #GeorgeFloyd #AhmaudArbery & #BreonnaTaylor who were killed because of the color of their skin.

Don't let what happened to them be forgotten.

Also. NOW IS NOT THE TIME to ask black people how to be an ally.

C'mon son. Google University is FREE.

Your LinkedIn profile says you're a self-starter. You'll be alright.

Black people can't take on the burden of your lack of knowledge, too. Not now. Not ever. #GeorgeFloyd
